Hey Product Hunt community! š
I'm Alex, and today I'm launching Typist - a lightning-fast AI transcription service. I built it after painfully trying to feed YouTube tutorials into Claude Code while working on a previous project.
The lightbulb went off when I realized a transcription service I was using still ran on outdated Whisper-v2, with is relatively slow and inaccurate. Then I found Groq is hosting latest Whisper-v3-large. And that's how the idea was born.
What makes Typist different:
ā” SPEED: 1-hour audio ā transcript in <20 seconds (216x faster than real-time or 40x faster than typical whisper-v2 implementation)
šÆ ACCURACY: Whisper-v3 delivers 10-20% fewer errors than v2
š„ļø UX: Built-in audio player with segment highlight, follow-along playback, export functionality.
Typist is perfect for students transcribing lectures, podcasters creating show notes, researchers processing interviews, or anyone who needs text from audio yesterday.
Would love to hear your feedback and use cases!
